Evil Hateful Linguistic Trend Of Doom

My number one language irritation of 2007 isn’t vowel-less or cutsey bottom-of-the-barrel names of dubious Web 2.x sites. It’s not even moldy old hipsterspeak of “so-and-so’s joint” and “pimped out whatevers.” It’s the trend of adding “-ity” or “-ty” suffixes to words that are already nouns instead of the legitimate use of making nouns from adjectives. For example, “sharity” or “digesty.”

Are you responsible for any of this? If so, please feel free to kill yourself now. Don’t stop to overthink – just take a running start down the hallway and throw yourself out the window.
